Welcome to the GWTW Forum.Guests (non-registered users) can view the forum but are unable to post. If you don't have anything to say then why would you bother to register?One of the most popular sections of the GWTW Forum has long been the Swap Meet. A great place to sell old, seldom flown kites or to get great deals on used (gently flown) kites. Only registered users can see the Swap Meet section, let alone wheel and deal. 1000's (literally) of kites have changed hands thanks to the Swap Meet.There are several more benefits to being a registered user, but you'll have to join our little community to find out all the "secrets".Questions or concerns?

Here is my Micron flying style.3 stacks, stacked! 15 kites in one stack.It is a kick to fly these, they're fast and quick in the turns, but I am ableto make multiple landings and launches.The stack needs at least 10 mph wind for smooth control, and I havehandled them easily up to 20 mph.

The picture posted by 'thief' is my favorite of All kite pictures!!For a really fast kite the Speed-Wing is the best. I have flown it at up to40 mph wind, and 90 degree turns are so fast you almost do not see it turn.Pictures here: I am having trouble attaching pictures. I will try them again later.

Multiple style flying, ie: Ray Bethel, I fly 2 nexus 5 stacks, one by handand the other on my belt, but with another pair of hands for "show".

stringystuff.Best looking stack ive ever seen, i cannot imagine the thing in real life let alone the tangle hassle if something went wrong also setting the stack up,Amazing work mate and "he who dares grins"

When you build a stack i highly recommend that you do not do direct lines between the kites....

set it up so that you have pigtails on the BACK of the kites, and then link lines with loops on the front of the kites....to fully assemble just larkshead the frontward facing lines to the pigtails on the back of the kite in front of it....and remember to leave the bridle on the very front kite too!

that way you can easily disconnect the kites to break the stack apart to untwist, fix, etc....

Thief,Ive stacked an easy 2 microns(did not remove the second Microns bridle) and NIGHTMARE on HELLS BEACH happened,high winds,toddler,stacked Microns,tails,lines and i had a bad day!I will try your kite stack advice for my next attempt,hence the great respect and admiration of stringystuffs very extreme Micron effort,it really does look brilliant.

I find that staking the lines out for a stack and then leaning the kites back against this tension allows you to correct any tangles and get them sorted. The triangle bag also allows you to leave them assembled and connected, attach the lines, put the standoffs in place and your ready to go.

Absolutely love my little Microns. For extra fun try light wind flying or longer 75' lines if the wind is brisk. If you're not challenged by the Micron 5 meter lines are especially entertaining. I like to fly them in mall parking lots to pass the time. Plan to have a stack of seven shortly.

dayhiker,how good is the Micron on the extra long lines?I use my standard Hypnotist lines when its howling,the windows huge!Low level window crossings then suddenly a pulse of wind and Micron shakes his evil little head and the turbo cuts in as he does the Banshee Scream for the sky. Warning-Microns should be taken only as directed,if your symptoms continue see your supplier for more.
